| British American or Australian Dialects? |
Hello and welcome to
all of our blog fans
Today we will talk
about English dialects and raise a very important question towards people who are learning English.
What is the best dialect British, American, or Australian?
So probably as an
English teacher you had been asked this question several times what accent
should I speak British American or Australian?
The English language is
one of the most used languages in the world with more than half-billion
speakers in more than 60 countries.
How do dialects differ from each other?
Well a dialect is defined as a particular form of a language that is
peculiar to a specific region or social group
So in fact not only there are 3 main dialects but also within the same
country or city or region you might find several of different dialects of
English.
In England alone
there is around 37 different dialects for example Cockney Yorkshire
Scottish Northern Irish and so on.
In America there are
around 24 different dialects examples Virginia
Hudson Valley Pennsylvania
In Australia
Torres Strait Creole,
spoken on the Torres Strait Islands, Northern Cape York, and South-Western Coastal Papua.
Final words
It's not very hard to adapt to a certain dialect if you live within the community that speaks it, you don’t need a certain English dialect to be
understood among English native speakers just be yourself and speak the way you
want as long as you pronounce words in the correct way of standard English a
native listener will understand almost 99 percent of your speech.
